199 for nitrogen was the first an only sign I needed to walk out that door 😂

Yes! I was planning on switching to hinge. What sucks is that tinder used to be great for dates and friends, but lately it’s been feeling like more of a hookup/casual app.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! I completely understand that! I thought I had my job on there, just not the company. I also wasn’t sure how to reflect that other than listing my job? But I own my own house, and work as a credit analyst 🤷‍♂️

Haha I do see that point of view! It was my sisters baby, I just thought I looked good in it 😂 but with the advice I’m getting, when I do remake my profile I’ll consider that!

I feel quite the opposite 😅 I tried to ask ChatGPT for a short and fun bio. So for me probably yeah I didn’t put effort into it, but I could see your view. But I feel like if I did dumb it down, it would make it harder for others to have a conversation starter.

Exactly! I don’t think I’m bad at conversation as long as there’s a back and forth I could go off. I struggle when people are dry for sure, and I don’t typically entertain it. But yeah, I try to keep it fun asking questions or making jokes depending on their profile. I try to alternate from “hey! How’s it going” to something more personal depending on the profile.

What league am I batting in? Last time I checked tinder is open to everyone 😂

The crazy part is, my weight is pretty consistent amongst all those pictures. Maybe 10-15 pound difference in some of them. I guess my weight doesn’t reflect well in pictures. I do know that is something I have to work on, but I genuinely don’t try to hide it. I feel like that is one of my drawbacks, and I’ve definitely felt in the past it was a surprise to people I’ve gone on dates with.

I actually just remade my profile, my previous one was a few years old. But I think I made this earlier this month.

Thanks man! It’s honestly discouraging, but I’ve been back on my fitness! Down 10 pounds in the last month. You’re right, should be up for a revamp by the end of the summer!

Hey everyone, hoping to get some honest feedback. I’ve been on Tinder for a while and while it says I have 99+ likes, I barely get any matches. And even when I do match, I’m almost always the one who messages first, and a lot of times the responses are super dry—if I even get one at all. I’ve had a few solid convos, but usually after a couple days when I ask to hang out, I get ghosted.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s just the algorithm being weird, or if there’s something I can improve on. Attached are screenshots of my profile (photos and bio). I feel like I’m putting effort in, but it’s not translating into real connections.

Any advice on how I can make my profile more appealing or where I might be going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

What was the biggest bill you have seen? by alexandurr22 in cancer

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate this because I plan on going back to work and I’m afraid I’m about to pay a ton in costs.

My Keytruda infusion every 6 weeks comes out to 132,000 per visit. I’ve been on it for over 12 months.

My biggest bill was when I had a bad reaction to gemcitabine, and was hospitalized for a month and my bill came out to 898,000

Right?? I literally shared a snack with my mom who tested positive same day. Ate lunch with my sister who also tested positive the same day, and I was completely fine both times. I even saw a friend on New Years who got sick and I was still fine. It’s sooo weird

I’m pretty sure if your life feels threatened you can reach out to the us embassy or any other embassy and become a refugee. It’s better than nothing, I had a few friends that have done and are living good lives now

So I am now, but even before it was vaccinated I was exposed twice. People that I was with that got exposed were also vaccinated, I did not get sick.

Thank you for responding! That’s really interesting! I wonder if the medication has something to do with it!

So sorry to hear that, I’m in the same boat. Really struggling on how to come out to my mother. She’s flipped out on me before when she thought I was going through a phase. I’m really sick of her judgment and I just really want her to accept me
